I am trying to join a 3 tables. projects, statuses, clients. The GOAL of the query should result in all projects that have a current status of “Received”. I am also trying to grab the client name for displaying in the resulting table.

These tables have common foreign keys as: client_ID, status_ID.

Here is my query thus far. I am trying hard to get a better understanding of joins. If you can provide comments on what I am doing wrong and example code that would be very much appriciated. 

   SELECT clients.clientName, 
          clients.Client_ID, 
          projects.Client_ID,
          projects.projectNumber,
          projects.projectName, 
          projects.expectedDate,
          statuses.Status_ID, 
          statuses.status         
     FROM projects, 
          clients, 
          statuses 
LEFT JOIN clients on projects.Client_ID = clients.Client_ID 
LEFT JOIN statuses on projects.Status_ID = statuses.Status_ID 
    WHERE status = 'Received'

    Try using ‘JOIN’ instead of ‘LEFT JOIN’. Also remove clients and statuses in the from clause. I would also query the Status_ID instead of the status name.

    SELECT clients.clientName, 
          clients.Client_ID, 
          projects.Client_ID,
          projects.projectNumber,
          projects.projectName, 
          projects.expectedDate,
          statuses.Status_ID, 
          statuses.status         
     FROM projects
     JOIN clients on projects.Client_ID = clients.Client_ID 
     JOIN statuses on projects.Status_ID = statuses.Status_ID 
     WHERE statuses.status = 'Received'
